Comments:

This book is the autobiographical account of Maureen who played Marcia Brady on the Brady Bunch. It's about growing up as a child star, her fall into drug addiction, her failed relationships, on marriage and becoming a mother, her familial relationships, changing her priorities and trying to find a way to like herself. There were some parts that were very moving - and others that made me roll my eyes and think, "Well, she brought it all on herself!"
For the most part, I was surprised that the girl who many girls wanted to be like and many boys wanted to be with was so...damaged.

I am glad to see that her life is changing and she is beginning to like who she is.
